Lisa Ho

 Lisa Ho

Lisa Ho has been Australia's golden girl of fashion for 24 years, is from Albury NSW and began sewing at the age of four. Her Grandmother, a tailor, was her inspiration and by age 10 Lisa was making patterns out of newspaper and had a sewing machine which she used to make every day pieces for herself and her sisters!

In 1981 Lisa graduated from East Sydney Technical College, trained in fashion design she spent a year working for another company before going out on her own.

Lisa started her career at the Paddington markets in Sydney and her designs quickly brought her retail and media attention and the Lisa Ho brand was born. Lisa Ho has continued to build into one of the most recognised brands in Australia and has a strong celebrity following with the signature pieces being worn by Delta Goodrem, Nicole Scherzinger, Sarah Wynter, Tyra Banks, Carmen Electra, Elle Macpherson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Olivia Newton-John and Jennifer Lopez. 

Her international reputation was first recognized during the Sydney 2000 opening ceremony, which featured a special Lisa Ho designed segment celebrating her role in Australian fashion.  Lisa was also asked to design the gown worn by Olivia Newton-John for her performance to welcome the Olympic athletes.

 The pictures are from Lisa's SS 10/11 collection which was showcased at Rosemount Australian Fashion week. I loved every piece in her collection. Lisa Ho really is going from strength to strength with her designs and there is only one way for Lisa and that is up!

When asked who a Lisa Ho customer is and what makes her distinctive Lisa answered-

"She is stylish, sophisticated and always glamorous. She has an appreciation for detail and knows the importance of building on her wardrobe staples - she looks for investment pieces."

 That really is how we all should be when it comes to fashion! 

Lisa will be showcasing her gorgeous designs at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane in Group Show 1 on Saturday the 7th of August at 6pm.

Much to my dismay and disappointment the tickets to Group Show 1 have sold out!
